Length caps how much gets written. Style sets the register. They stack, so both on maximum produces very long answers.

Same engine, same specialist. Only the length setting changed.
- Brief and concise, when you are firing off ten quick questions
- Balanced, for normal use, which is where most people should sit
- Long and detailed, when you want something you can send to a client
AvoidLeaving length on maximum permanently and skim-reading everything.
Do this insteadSitting on balanced, turning it up only when you need the full thing.
A long answer you skim is worse than a short one you read.
